I'm also seeing this. Don't have a workaround yet.

Looks like this is the cause sphinx-doc/sphinx#11130
The actual issue is upstream with sphinx and their recent release flurry.

I experimented with forking xapian-bindings and pinning the sphinx dependency to an old version, but never got it to work. It always tried to get he latest sphinxcontrib.applehelp and I never tracked down why. I've since switched to Whoosh.

I install (docker) dependencies packages before xapian-bindings installs in requirements.txt:

RUN pip install sphinxcontrib-applehelp==1.0.2 sphinxcontrib-serializinghtml sphinxcontrib-devhelp sphinxcontrib-htmlhelp sphinxcontrib-jsmath sphinxcontrib-qthelp
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

So, it works for me now.
